Why the art of the pitch deck?

I still remember the first feedback I got, post sending my first pitch deck. Horrible. The individual who provided it was very kind though.

I kept researching the subject and having gone through the web literature, I settled for a specific format. I have further refined it while working with startup founders, but also by reading pitch decks while scouting for v.c. firms.

At some point, when I was assigned to promote pitch decks of startups incubated through our platform, some venture capitalists had the courage to share their very positive feedback on the quality of the work done. They were actually reading those pitch decks despite the fact I was often reaching out to "cold" contacts.

Receiving such a feedback from individuals I had no personal connections with, was the validation I needed to develop this course.
